At this moment, It was Oshitari again.

He reappeared in front of the tennis ball without anyone knowing when.

"The wind has picked up now, the two from Seigaku!"

After speaking, Oshitari directly hit a backhand.

Swish!

He powerfully struck the tennis ball!

The ball, with intense spin, flew towards the middle court between Oishi and Kikumaru again!

In a flash, it reached Oishi's forehead.

"What? You can still catch that?"

"When did he appear there?"

"This speed is terrifying. Is this the strength of a Hyotei regular?"

However, the shock did not stop there.

The tennis ball that flew over the net suddenly changed trajectory, began to rise continuously, and flew high into the sky.

Then it landed behind Oishi and quickly bounced back towards Oshitari.

Finally, it returned to Oshitari's hands!

This move immediately unsettled everyone from Seigaku.

"Fuji, isn't this guy a copy of you? How come he knows everything you do?" Inui asked Fuji, looking at him with confusion.

"White Whale?" Fuji did not answer.

At this moment, Oishi was beyond shocked.

"How could this be? He even knows Fuji's White Whale!" Oishi was already losing his fighting spirit!

The opponent was too strong. Whether it was individual strength or coordination, he and Kikumaru were no match for them!

"Hyotei scores, the score is 30-0!"

At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan could already predict the outcome of the match. Although Oishi and Fuji from Seigaku were not weak!

But Oshitari and Gakuto were a formidable national-level doubles pair!

Even now, they hadn't shown their true strength, yet Oishi and Kikumaru were already struggling to hold on!

And at this time, Ryuzaki Sumire looked at Oishi and Kikumaru, her brow furrowed!

It seemed this doubles match was going to be lost. Having coached for so many years, she knew that a player's psychological state directly affected their performance.

And Oishi's mentality clearly had a problem!

As expected.

Twenty minutes later.

"Game, Hyotei, score 6-0!"

As the referee's voice rang out, Discussions erupted around the venue again.

"So strong! They ended the match with a straight 6-0!"

"Seigaku's doubles couldn't even win a single game!"

"Hyotei looks like they'll be the champions of the prefectural tournament this year! Seigaku doesn't seem to be their match!"

"Go Hyotei!"

"Hyotei must win!"

Loud cheers filled the stadium.

Oishi and Kikumaru, Seigaku's future Golden Pair, lost the match with a decisive score of 6-0!

It also showcased the prowess of Hyotei's doubles pair!

"We're sorry, Tezuka, we lost!" Oishi and Kikumaru walked up to Tezuka, heads bowed.

Kikumaru was the same. This was their most crushing defeat this year. The opponents had suppressed them so much they couldn't breathe; they were completely dominated the entire match and couldn't even win a single game.

"Oishi, Kikumaru, you both did well. The opponents are very strong. I feel like they haven't displayed their full strength yet!" Tezuka's words caused a huge stir!

"What? This isn't even their full strength?" Kawamura Takashi felt as if he had misheard!

"That's right. When the match just ended, I saw Oshitari and Gakuto's breathing was calm, and they didn't seem to be exerting themselves much. So, we can deduce that they weren't going all out," Inui had finished gathering information and joined the discussion.

The Seigaku team members heard Inui's words, and their hearts grew heavy.

At this time, Oshitari and Gakuto returned to the Hyotei team together.

They were undoubtedly greeted with smiles and congratulations, as they had just won the match.

Chiba Yun Chuan had also returned to the Hyotei team at this time.

"Captain, we won!" Oshitari said to Chiba Yun Chuan.

"Very good, it looks like you won't have to play against me."

Looking at Oshitari and the other person, Chiba Yun Chuan smiled, which was rare.

Hearing Chiba Yun Chuan's words, they all chuckled sheepishly.

"The next match is between Shishido and Taro. They've already gone to warm up!

I'll take on Singles 3 today. I want to have a go at Tezuka!" Chiba Yun Chuan flashed a foxy grin!

"Captain, you think the opposing captain will play Singles 3? No way?" Oshitari was very surprised. In his opinion, the strong players were usually in Singles 1 or Singles 2!

But it wasn't strange, after all, they had always played like this.

"Will Seigaku's captain be playing Singles 3? What a shame, I wanted to have a match with him. It looks like there's no chance!" Hearing Chiba Yun Chuan's words, Atobe looked quite regretful.

Actually, Chiba Yun Chuan wasn't entirely sure, but his intuition told him that Tezuka might be playing Singles 3!

Given Ryuzaki Sumire's personality, she might very well have Tezuka play Singles 1, but Chiba Yun Chuan felt she wouldn't play by the usual rules.

"Hyotei's doubles pair just now was really strong. They completely shut out Seigaku's doubles."

"I wonder how Seigaku will respond next."

"Hyotei's next doubles pair seems to have a first-year on it too. Amazing!"

Amidst the surrounding discussions, time passed quickly.

Doubles 1 was about to begin!

"Seigaku versus Hyotei, Second Doubles Match 1 begins. Please have the players come onto the court."

After the referee announced the start, four figures walked onto the court.

Seigaku Doubles 1: Inui, Kawamura Takashi

Hyotei Doubles 1: Shishido Ryo, Ootori Choutarou

After the two sides shook hands, they prepared to start the match!

"Takashi, you've worked hard. Don't push yourself if you can't handle it!" Inui said to Kawamura Takashi, who had his back to him, his tone grave.

"Don't worry, Inui, I can do it! For Seigaku, I must give it my all! Tennis, burn!" Kawamura Takashi shouted directly.

At this moment, it was as if a blazing fire ignited on Kawamura Takashi's body, and the temperature of the air seemed to rise considerably.

"Shishido, that guy up front looks pretty strong," Chotaro said slowly, watching Kawamura roar.

"Chotaro, use your serve and crush them!" Shishido was not affected and his tone remained calm.

"Match begins, Hyotei serves."

As the referee's voice fell, the match officially began.

"Chotaro, let's go. Let them see our strength!" At this moment, Ootori Choutarou stood at the baseline, preparing to serve.

"Shishido-senpai, I'll surprise them!" After saying that, he took a tennis ball out of his bag and prepared to serve.

Meanwhile, within the Seigaku team:

"Tezuka, is this really okay? Could it harm Kawamura's arm?" Fuji's tone was filled with worry.

"Fuji, this is the coach's arrangement. Don't worry, I'll call a timeout when the time comes!" Tezuka replied expressionlessly.

On the court:

Ootori Choutarou stood at the baseline, tossing the tennis ball upwards. When the ball reached its highest point, he leaped lightly, and with the swing of his arm, he powerfully struck the ball!
